AN OUTCRY.

Offended Olfactorfes-Compla That
 the Public Health Is Endangered
 The Trunk Sewer Which Emptfes
 Off the Union Depot.
 On any hot, sweltering and stifling dog-day
 let one sit on the platform of the Union depot
 for time while the tide is going out and the
 south wind blows. Instead of the wind
 bringing the fragrance of flowers it brings a
 stench that is something almost unbearable.
 Many are the complaints which one can hear
 from those around, and loud they are. Said
 citizen yesterday: "Let the wind blow only
 gentle zephyr in toward the depot and the
 odor is sickening. This is all caused by the trunk sewer which enters the water little way out in front of the depot at the end of the wharf This does not only affect people at the depot, but those for some distance around. When the tide goes out all the con. tents of the sewer are emptied on to the flats. The water comes in and recedes again, but it does no good in this direction, for the stuff from the sewer is not wholly carried away. The matter has been congregating on the l flats for SO long that the smell is constantly growing worse Something must be done.
 The health of the people in this vicinity is endangered"
 Joseph Porter, at Sperry & Barnes, says he can remember when clams could be caught on these flats in front of the depot. Now none can be found there. They have been killed by the stuff from the sewer. Several men whose business is or Long wharf said yesterday that the sewer as it is now placed is very unhealthy and really dangerous, but that they noticed but little oi it, as the stench did not bother them much It was, rather, very troublesome to people on the other side of the flat.
 The only thing to be done which will ale viate all this is to have the sewer extended This will eventually have to be done by the city. The clerks who have to stay all day long in the offices at the depot fronting the harbor can hardly stand the smell at times so bad it is. They cannot keep the windows closed in the hot weather, for if they could il would be different with them. About the time when the stench is at it's worst is al

A CLEAN Of summer comes TO me
Across the plain Of sunny land,
To cheer me here ut sea.

A slender vessel tempesttOssed
Upon trackless ocean cast.

Alas tits but the story old
OF love, and destiny.
Beloved, some day we'll meet once more
Beyond the shadows OF regret,
Il may be on our native shore
While you shall teach me to forget,
But, dear, rather think we'll meet
Beyond the "Old hOme' and this sea"
Where death will solve the mystery sweet,
For all eternity. n
